Despite his relatively modest demands, which Congress will almost certainly slim still further, Johnson proposed some pragmatic innovations, mostly in the methods by which the U.S. doles out the dollars. He hopes to sweet-talk-or strong-arm-other nations and international organizations into cooperating to help needy nations and, in turn, to encourage recipient nations to cooperate with their neighbors in regional development programs...
...brilliant individual performance by a Crimson player this season while playing the best game of his college career. With 30 seconds to play in the first period and Harvard down 3-0, the junior defenseman carried down the left boards, fending off a back-checking Eagle with his right arm.
